Behold! God Makes All Things New! Even (or Especially) You and Me!
Introduction We all have moments in our lives when we burst into flames. Or drown. Or bury ourselves. Pick your metaphor for getting beaten down by this life, this painfully broken world. I hate to admit that I’ve been dealing with that myself lately. My consulting contract (and therefore my job) ended in early December, and I haven’t found my next job yet. Not long after that, I fractured my…

god remember jake marshall. from rfta
#wind howls#in the ace attorney playthru my friends and i are doing we are now onto rise from the ashes#i think we stopped still on the first day of the trial. the worst is yet to come and im very excited about it.#genuinely one of the few cases in ace attorney that actually made me feel some sort of dread and fear by the end of it when i played it#im voicing jake and also angel starr bc its funny. im trying to make jake sound american to the best of my non american abilities#and angel starr i gave her an uninterested cafeteria lady voice. maybe not original but im having fun#that on top of already voicing thr judge i love voicing the judge so much. i gave him my best goofy impression hes a blast to voice#who else did i voice. i voiced yani yogi. gave him a throaty voice. occasionally i do larry when nobody else wants him (i dont either)#who else is there in the game. OH OH will powers i voiced him. also wendy oldbag her voice fucked me up BAD#before my friend darin joined us i also voiced gumshoe but since then darin took the role and his impression is a lot more fun hehe#voicing characters in a visual novel is so much fun you guys. if you can gather up pals and have someone play the game for the first time-#definitely recommend giving out silly voices. especially if they have rare voiced lines in the game#you cannot imagine the absolute glee i felt when darin gave manfred von karma his youtuber Fred impression. only to hear is objection later#and realizing his voice is actually the deepest in the fucking game. it was so fucking funny i lost my whole mind it was awesome#anyway. game is fun#ghost trick is also a fun game ive seen get voiced by groups of friends. definitely recommend playing that one in a group as well

I've told you this before but you are an inspiration to me to keep going when I'm lost in the darkness. You're apologetically you and I admire that a lot. You're passionate about your projects and I will always be your biggest cheerleader to see you through to the end of Captain's story.

Not to sound like a doomsday enthusiast or anything.....
But Yellowstone flooding when there's an overdue-for-a-people-ending-eruption caldera LITERALLY RIGHT THERE.....
It doesn't sit well in my spirit 🥲
#and the US is entering its pluto return until like mid-july.....#although the pluto return is dealing with the crash & reset of our financial systems#for the non-astrology girlies: pluto is the planet furthest from the sun & therefore its rotation is the slowest#a 'return' is when a planet returns to the same point in the sky as it was when something was started/born#so for example; our birthdays are our solar return bc the sun is in the same spot it was when we were born#pluto represents death & transformation among other things#pluto return has also been linked to the fall of the ottoman & roman empires i beleive#basically its the burning down of one thing so something else (hopefully better) can rise from it's ashes#so our financial systems are gonna go to shit and then start to bounce back in late 2023 to 2024 when pluto moves into the next sign#which i believe is aquarius#basically (i think) the bubble is gonna pop. the price of everything is gonna plummet because the value of the dollar will plummet#a lot of people think that digital currency (NOT CRYPTO) will be the new norm moving forward#i also think that housing & aparment prices are gonna crash which will benefit the masses who are looking to move#yall will be getting A LOT of house/apartment for you buck#which I'm definitely looking forward to bc I'm trying to move and the apartment i want is 3k rn#when in The Before Times it would go for less than 2k#gas prices should plummet as well🤞🏾#basically its about to get real rough but once the storm passes.... we should be fkne#fine*

Dude im going to be honest with you, some people may disagree but i think you actually write too fast 😅 or maybe im too used to people taking longer to deliver things, bc i know sometimes people don't feel motivated or have yk a LIFE! but good god some people, I'm telling you dude, i can't speak for everyone but me, personally? Im grateful for what and when you share your writing with us, like i said before ignore the ones who apparently can't read about boundaries and just vibe with the rest. 🖤
SGSJSHKSSJ NO YOU'RE RIGHT.
Uh I genuinely don't know why I write so fast, I think it's a mixture of just being the type to, having a fair amount of experience writing to formulate shit easier, and just, got a fair bit of time on my hands nowadays. So like, on one hand ik I jump from fandom to fandom posting a shitload all the time. I actually try to keep it cool but lmao. I'm just rlly fast for some reason??
Honestly that person annoyed me but 🤷🏿‍♀️ I do be getting those comments often, no matter how fast I post or how often I say "haha plz don't no rlly it's not fun :(" so ik I gotta just ignore but;;; sue me I'm so hot headed lmao. 😭
And thanks for saying this frfr!!! Like, I write for myself, but it's SO fun to see a comment or ask just making commentary abt what I wrote. Like fuck you're having thoughts??? Abt my little words??? Huh??? So rlly the good outweighs the bad. I'll def keep going, just probs will lose my politeness Abt those comments every chapter lmao

@thehordemultimuse asked:
43. A bloody kiss for Blue Fire (medieval or not, whichever you're cooking with OwO)
[Kiss Roulette! | Accepting!]
[Here's the song for this, have fun~.]
Tumblr media
No...
No...
Tumblr media
She stood, silent as a grave. Outside the throne room, the rebellion roared- metal clashed, flames soared, and mobians and humans- united under a hatred of King Mephiles- screamed their battle cries. But here, there was only the flickering of shadows across the windows as their opponent drew his blade up- the sickening slck of flesh cutting filling the air.
Crimson blood- the blood of her closest ally, when her nation had fallen...dripped from the sword's edge. It fell back onto its owner, staining his slashed leather armor with his defeat. Tempest's grip on her own sword grew.
Tumblr media
"Do you see what happens when you resist, princess?" Mephiles' voice rang out through the throne room. Bluebell- 'Sonic' as he'd been called prior to the rebellion- groaned from the ground. Half of his face had been burnt horribly by Mephiles' fiery twin- the flesh charred, still sizzling. How he hadn't passed out from pain was beyond Tempest...but in that moment, all she could feel was an overwhelming sorrow. Her best warrior, her confidante... Had fallen.
"If you had given your life, instead of fleeing...." The tyrannical king chuckled softly. He grasped the hilt of his blade, his twin raising a pure-white, crystalline hand. A few years ago, this throne room had looked so different...
There had been no crimson stains,- no burnt, charred stone. The ripped tapestries depicting a fire were once a sword, a symbol of Tempest's parents- of her kingdom. And then...
Tumblr media
"...then again...I suppose you knew I would raze this kingdom anyway..." Another soft chuckle. "...your rebellion...will fall, along with you, and every last one of your 'pure hearted' fools..." Metal, glittering with red, was pointed towards Tempest. "Starting with your captain."
Tempest launched forward, her own sword raised- only for it to be thrown away, ripped from her hands in a last-second parry that caused her wrists to burn. She could smell sizzling flesh- but that was far from the worst thing in this moment. Tempest's world flipped upside down as foggy purple obscured her vision- and she slammed into something.
She could feel the stone under her hands, cutting into the skin on her right. Tempest had landed- fallen- atop something, the horrible taste of blood and burnt flesh filling her mouth. Brown hues finally focused- seeing the unconscious face of her top warrior. She moved to get off, momentary panic blinding her.
Until the sound of flames burned into her ears- and her back lit up. Tempest's mouth opened in a scream, agony flooding her nerves. The armor protecting her upper back charred to a crisp, fusing to her skin as it crackled and sizzled. Tempest's scream filled the throne room. She couldn't move- pinned by the fire, in a kiss of raw agony. If she moved away- more of her back would be caught by Iblis' blaze.
The twin's demonic laughter filled the hall, flames crackling as they burned Tempest's back.
Tumblr media
"How cute....dying together, a true lovers' end..." Tempest's hand let go of the blade handle. It clattered to the ground, but all she could hear were her own pained screams. She had to beat him- Mephiles had stepped closer, a crystal foot slamming onto the hilt of the blade- shattering it. The blade itself was still intact...but if Tempest wanted to use her weapon, she'd have to cut her hand open to do it.
"Do not worry...once you are ash, my brother and I will make sure your kingdom joins you..." His breath was like the dirt on a fresh grave- not quite revolting, but full of sorrow, and time lost. Tempest's teeth finally clamped shut.
If she didn't stop Iblis- if she didn't beat Mephiles- everyone would die.
Tumblr media
"RAHHHHHH!!!!" Her world was nothing but red- bright, burning suffering in every bone, in every pulse of her heart. But she still reached out- grabbing the blade's edge, feeling the metal cut into her skin. She yanked the knife, the slice nothing compared to the blaze above. Her own blood splattered on the floor as Mephiles stumbled.
Tempest rolled off of Bluebell, feeling dirt and pebbles lodge themselves into the still-hissing skin. She didn't give Mephiles a chance to recover- grabbing his own sword, ripping it from his hand...and shoving it into Iblis' chest, to her right. There was no blood- but the twin stared down at his chest, for a moment confused- before orange eyes slowly drifted upwards, quickly growing hazy.
"....mephy?...."
Iblis' form cracked at the edges- the cracks working inward before the monstrosity exploded into dust. Mephiles was still, eyes locked on where his brother had been. The dust floated in the air- before rushing towards Tempest. Before she could react, it had flung down her lungs- burning in her chest, filling her every vein. Red consumed her-
He hurt Bluebell.
Tempest's skin began to darken.
He destroyed her kingdom.
Her eyes were losing their color.
HE KILLED HER PEOPLE.
A blast of fire filled the space, as Tempest's remaining armor suddenly sharpened- gaining a crystal quality as it filled back in, the cracked and warped metal repairing as her hair began to rise- floating as if she were in space.
The tapestries all blazed, the fabric instantly lighting up in orange and yellow. The hall was set ablaze- the only thing spared being Bluebell, who was oddly unharmed...and Mephiles himself. Even Tempest had flames flickering off of her body- but she didn't seem to notice as the smell of ash burned in her nose.
Tumblr media
"YAꟼ ⅃⅃IW UOY!!!" Her voice rang as a collective- a million people slain by the twins in the past, their fury rising with Tempest's own.
The sword sliced through the air- and clear through what should have been solid crystal. Fire the color of a dying sunset roared to life in the cut across the king's neck. Mephiles' head toppled from his shoulders- melting into black goop as it went, before splatting into a puddle on the floor. The rest of his body flopped backwards, the cape he'd had fashioned when he took over beginning to sizzle and pop. The stones of the castle fizzled as Mephiles' remains began to eat away at them- but Tempest didn't care. She didn't even notice. The qualities she'd gained began to shatter and fall, her armor fading back to its currently half-destroyed state, eyes regaining color.
Tempest attempted to take a step.
She fell to one knee, her opponent's sword slicing into solid rock. Tempest's vision had begun to waver. She could still taste Blue's blood on her tongue. She spat to the side, trying to get rid of the flavor. Outside- cheers began to rise. The princess' brown eyes, dulled from pain, weakly cast a glance in the direction of the nearest window- now cracked...when had that happened?
Smoke was filling the air outside...but the cheers- the cheers were from her men. Tempest's vocal chords refused to heed her as she tried to chuckle, albeit quietly. Rubbed raw from her screams, and she could still feel the blaze that had licked at her back...she didn't realize the black goop had begun to shift towards her.
It leapt, the acidic substance immediately cutting into the skin of Tempest's arms as she let out another half-choked scream, cut off partway through as her vocals quit responding.
"If I die, then I shall take you with me...!" Mephiles' voice rang in her ears. The goop- he was still alive--! Tempest tried to stand, only for her leg to give out. She fell to the ground, Mephiles' sword clattering away as agony consumed every nerve. She wasn't sure how long it lasted, writhing there in raw suffering as Mephiles' voice grew gradually weaker...but eventually, her hearing began to fall away. Her vision swam, her body seeming to fall from her mind. The hall's ceiling rumbled- before a section nearby caved entirely, raining down chunks of stone that narrowly missed the unconscious Bluebell.
Tumblr media
"...n....o...." She had come so far... They'd all come so far-- they'd defeated Mephiles, the King of Darkness- and Iblis, the Knight of Hellfire...they'd saved her parents' kingdom...
But it was all growing so faint....
At least the pain was beginning to ebb, as Tempest's mind fell further into endless darkness. At the edge of her hearing, she picked up on footsteps...a gasp...
"SOMEONE GET A HEALER!"
Oblivion claimed her.
